Brooklyn~ 

"Good night you." I lead Jess towards her room. 

"Thanks for today.." She smiles. 

"I should thank you.." I smile softly. "What you said at the competition? It blew my breath away sweetie." I say. 

"You deserve some pride." She winks. 

"See you in the morning Jess." I hug her tightly. "I'll make pancakes." 

"My secret lover." She winks. "Goodnight." She smiles and closes the bedroom door. 

I walk to mine and Tristan's bedroom and crawl into his out streched arms, it was warm, funny how even a vampire... is not cold to me. I sigh and cuddle even deeper into his arms and his mouth comes over to my ear. 

"You would be a great mother." He whispers. 

Okay.. that was shocking! 

"Ah... thanks?" I sit up and stare at him. "Where did that come from?" 

"From my heart and brain." He says, staring at me. "The way you are with Jess, it shows much for me." He nods. 

I sigh. "But... I don't see me being a mother Tristan." 

"Why not?" He frowns. 

"Because.. I want to be with you, and we cant have that." I almost whisper the whole thing. 

He tenses up and looks down at the sheets. "I see..." 

"Tristan...---" 

"Don't say anything." He stops me. "It's fine." 

"Tristan, I never wanted a child." I claim... It's not totally a lie. 

"You don't fool me." He groans, sitting up and leaning on the bed-rest. 

"Well, I'm serious." I say, sitting closer. "Tristan, you are enough for me..." 

"But not for long." He glares at the bed sheets, not making the eye contact I needed to have... 

"Tristan, I've made up my mind." I say in the blue.

He is shocked, and looks at me with wide eyes. "You cant be serious!?" 

"I'm serious." I groan. "Forever is a long time... but I wouldn't mind spending it with you by my side.." I say with a small smile. 

"So... you want to turn?" He stares at me, confused a bit.. I guess, and partly scared. 

Like I wasn't!? 

"Of course, that's what I mean." I say, kissing his shoulder. "And I want you to do it." I add. 

He shakes his head. "No." 

"No?" I widen my eyes. 

"I told you, Emma does it, or no vampire for you." He says. 

I groan, and roll my eyes. "What are you afraid of?" 

"Loosing you." He says strictly and gets out of the bed. 

"Please come back." I sigh, walking after him. 

I follow him to the hallway and he pauses. "I cant be trusted with a big and dangerous thing like that." He says. 

"But I trust you, and that should be enough." I say, holding his arm. 

He nods. "It should, but I cant trust myself." 

I sigh and go to the front of him so I'm fully facing him, and I stare into his eyes. "If it really scares you, I'll make Emma do it.. but if you can put away that fear and just focus... then I'd love it to be you." I say quietly... I didn't want Jessica to hear us and think we're going on about sex or something... as much as I waited for that... sigh.... 

He pulls me to his chest. "I'll think about tonight, okay?" He asks. "If I can put that fear behind me, fine... I'll do it, but otherwise, it's Emma. Understand?" He says. 

"Crystal." I smile. 

"You'll kill me one day woman." He sighs and pulls me into a tight hug. 

"Love you." I kiss his cheek. 

"You call that a kiss?" He mumbles, and quickly pecks my lips. 

I smirk. "I was thinking just leaving it at that." I wink. 

"Love you too." He rolls his eyes. 

He takes my hand in his and leads me back to the bedroom, I needed to someway earn his 'bite' as I could say... I didn't want him to fear me to hurt me, I knew he wouldn't... it's not who he was. 

"Goodnight." I kiss him. 

"Sleep well..." I hear his whisper as I close my eyes...
